Default Working holiday visa age limit
Hooray - I can help on this one!!

OK, just had my WH Visa back from NZ House.
Sent it on 13th November, had it back registered post on Friday 24th November.
I am 31 on 9th January 2005, and there was not a single problem.
The rule seems to be:
Apply anytime beofre your 31st Birthday - if I were you I would do it now.
The visa is valid for entry for a year after it was granted - ie mine is valid until 24/11/05.
When you enter NZ, then the year you are allowed starts. So if you get one now, enter on 31/03/05, you can stay until 31/03/06 on it.
I'm not out there until August, so I can stay until August 06 on it. My case was possibly nearer the wire and I had no probs, so it should be really easy for you.
If you want anymore help on this, just post back.

Ady
